"We force animals to adapt to the constraints of farming modelled on the mass production of manufactured goods, whereas farming should respect the ethological needs of animals. This is a transgression because we grant ourselves an absolute right that we do not have. This violence towards animals is a condemnation of us. Yet our relationship with animals could be an opportunity to think about a way of inhabiting the Earth that makes coexistence with other species possible. This requires new foundations for ethics and politics."

– Corine Pelluchon

Tangible versus Virtual. Here's a great example of how the promise of streaming has been betrayed by cartelized corporate greed. First photo is my recently delivered box set of "The Expanse", 19 DVD's all for $32.40 USd including tax & shipping. Second photo is the cost to stream all 6 seasons contained in the DVD set, from Fandango at $59.99.

I acquired a bit ago a nicely working DVD/BluRay/CD player with HDMI & spdif audio outputs for $15 from my local Goodwill, hooked into the 55" display & big speakers in my studio, for a home theater vibe. Nice thing is that it is also easy to rip DVD's to digital video files, and with Jellyfin on my OpenMediaVault server, easy to stream to other devices too. Versus a bigger payment for just a corporation's potentially rescinded promise towards future viewing access.

Once upon a time, given the relative costs of materials/time/energy/labor needed to create tangible formats like optical discs, made one of the big selling points of streaming, besides obvious 'convenience', was that it was almost always less expensive for the consumer. While streaming certainly has costs to produce - needing lots of servers for encoding & hosting, and CDN's for the streaming - this should still end up being a fraction per stream compared to what it takes to manufacture, package & deliver optical discs made out of plastics and metals. So seems to me what we've seen of late is the media corporations raising in concert rates for streaming, with profit margins on these ballooning, while the last of the optical disc manufacturing plants, have reduced their profit margins to the bare minimum. The result is an inversion in pricing between the tangible & virtual options for many releases now. And for those of us interested in lasting & ready access to specific works of art, and for those of us that value "digital sovereignty", against a marketing system working to make these things more scarce, the tangible options are looking increasingly attractive.

“zipf maneuvers: on non-reprintable materials”, by andrew c. wenaus & germán sierra

https://www.erratumpress.com/zipf-maneuvers

Sierra e Wenaus utilizzano un algoritmo Python per riorganizzare i loro articoli originali secondo le distribuzioni Zipfiane, ordinando alfabeticamente e indicizzando numericamente ogni parola. Questa riorganizzazione produce un set di dati frammentato e non lineare che resiste alla lettura convenzionale. A ogni parola viene assegnato un numero corrispondente alla sua posizione originale nel testo, creando una struttura disarticolata, simile a un catalogo. Il risultato è una protesta contro la finanziarizzazione della conoscenza da parte delle aziende e una critica alle leggi sulla proprietà intellettuale che ne limitano l’accesso. Trasformando i propri saggi in dati riorganizzati algoritmicamente, Zipf Maneuvers mette in atto una singolare forma di resistenza, denunciando l’assurdità di un sistema che ostacola la libera circolazione delle idee

"Capitalism and extreme poverty: A global analysis of real wages, human height, and mortality since the long 16th century
[…]
• Data on real wages suggests that, historically, extreme poverty was uncommon and arose primarily during periods of severe social and economic dislocation, particularly under colonialism.
• The rise of capitalism from the long 16th century onward is associated with a decline in wages to below subsistence, a deterioration in human stature, and an upturn in premature mortality.
• In parts of South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, wages and/or height have still not recovered."

"The #law is the most powerful engine through which ideologies can become self-replicating engines. John Locke’s theory of property as the endowed right of white men to use and to produce worked like witchcraft—the natural world, which had sustained societies for thousands of years, could suddenly be taken by force, enclosed, and tilled for the sole profit of one man, with trespassers punished. The conversion of land into one person’s permanent property was not permissible under the indigenous populations who had long occupied it, nor was such a thing permissible anywhere in the world except Europe—and even there, only after the enclosure movements of the 1600s."

If you don’t spend — if you hold or “save” money — it stays in your bank account and the aggregate stock is unchanged.

In the long run, asset prices go up.
The most powerful wealth multiplicators are real estate and equities (aka. property and shares).

"The most important feature of private ownership is not that it enables those who own, but that it disables those who do not. Technically, anyone can get into someone else’s car and drive away, or give an order to sell all of Warren Buffet’s shares in Berkshire Hathaway. The sole purpose of private ownership is to prevent us from doing so. In this sense, private ownership is wholly and only an institution of exclusion, and institutional exclusion is a matter of organized power."
